Hello, i created my own account because i am simply at a loss and need some informed advice.
The BP is 6 months old, 300g. She has a 93° hotspot and a 80° cool spot, humidity averages to 55% constantly. I feed her 10-15% body weight once a week. (F/T Rats of appropriate size)
Now here is my problem. For the last 3 weeks (last three feedings) something has happened that scares me. After she has completly swallowed the rodent she will open her mouth and lunge forward while making a wheezing sound (1-3 times). Kinda like she is yaking or having trouble with her meal internally (after swallowing) and just after a meal she makes a clicking sound (for about 6 hours afterward)
And i am aware of R.I but the issue is that she does NOT show any other signs of it, no bubbles or hunger strike, or and heavy breath/clicking at all times. She ONLY shows clicking and the "yaking" as soon as her meal is almost done settling in her stomach.
I will seek professional help if i must. But i first want to hear from those who could give me any understanding of what could be going on.
Thank you in advance. Any advice is needed and wanted! ☺
